United Technologies Corp.
National Labor Relations Board
268 N.L.R.B. 557 (1984)
- Written by Rose VanHofwegen, JD
Facts
An employee filed a grievance with the union (plaintiff) using the process specified in the collective-bargaining agreement of United Technologies Corporation (defendant). At the routine first-step grievance meeting, United’s general foreman denied the grievance and allegedly implied that appealing to the second step could result in discipline. The union filed unfair-labor-practice charges, claiming the alleged threat violated § 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The company moved to dismiss, arguing the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) should defer exercising jurisdiction to the grievance-arbitration procedure.
